I think a mobile phone camera is vastly superior to these, although might not be great at night vision for the reasons you said, but is it entirely crazy to not just use a spare phone? It has built in backup power, can store videos locally if there is an internet outage, and can use its own data connection if wifi is not available.

One of the things that weighs me down is posts making me dwell on the things that weigh me down.

Anyone who isn’t at least mildly interested that you know Morse code isn’t someone you want to know :-)

Good filter technique.

FYI, you are able to edit titles on the fediverse in case you want to the missing word.

Stop trying to stack overflow the fediverse, please.

For the love of God, no! It ain’t a host if it ain’t up. This will just end up being very annoying.

Mods: Please delete this post. Enough damage has been done.

And still it continues to work… Any ideas anyone?

I’ve just been sorting my comments by highest score and replacing a dozen or so each day with something like “-> fediverse”. So far none have been restored. Most of the lower scored comments don’t have value to anyone anyway so I’m just ordering by most impact until I get bored.

Not participating isn’t the only choice.

On days I’m feeling particularly petty I go into discussions and vote down the good comments and vote up the bad ones just to make the signal to noise ratio worse. Yes, I’m that petty.

The fediverse wars, begun they have.

If you make it to wherever you’re going, please let us know the story!

I see they were inspired by my sail kayak :-)

Yes, it’s inevitable but stretching out the pain to draw more people to the fediverse is useful. The more news it makes, the more people will want to check it out, and a wee bit of viral, newsworthy drama could make a significant impact on the adoption trajectory. Plus, for petty people like me, it’s a great source of entertainment.

We know that simultaneously changing a whole bunch of subs between public and private drives reddit into the ground. Subs are not allowed to stay private or risk being taken over, but they can surely still change between the two modes provided they don’t stay dark too long. So, every 48 hours simultaneously switch the subs between the two. Malicious compliance, right?

yes and only responded to questions that vaguely related to the prepared answers they had. It was more a press briefing than an AMA.

kbin.social <- take the easy path. Fight me!

I initially downvoted you because I disagree, but then changed my mind because it’s still a valid opinion. Personally, I agree with OP. People are being scared off by confusion in trying to understand what the fediverse is. While I agree it’s good to mention the fediverse and the distributed nature, it’s often coming across as the main thing and I think it’s counter-productive. People will come to understand it just fine if they can just be left to dive in without befuddling them. I think getting them on board is more important than it being in the fediverse.
